Description

  The present invention is applied to, for example, a roof opening / closing tent used in an event or the like, and more particularly to an improvement of a tent having a support column folding structure.

  Conventionally, as folding structures, such as a support | pillar used for this kind of tent, the thing described in the patent document 1 and the thing described in the patent document 2 are known, for example.

  The former is a tent composed of a column and a roof, and the column is divided into an upper column and a lower column, which are divided into upper and lower parts, a hinge for pivotally connecting them, an upper column and a lower column. A sliding tube that can take a fixed position that is movably fitted to and extends over these and an open position that is fitted only to the upper column, and a sliding tube that is provided on the sliding tube. It is sometimes provided with a notch that can be accommodated so as to sandwich the hinge and prevent movement beyond the fixed position.

  The latter is a tent composed of a column and a roof, and the beam frame used for the roof can include a pipe material divided into two parts, a hinge that pivotally connects these parts, and a hinge. In addition, a sliding tube body that can be fitted between two pipe members so as to be movable and straddle them, and an open position that can be fitted only on one pipe member, and provided on both pipe members. A stopping body that stops the sliding tube body in the fixed position and the open position, and a locking means that is provided between the sliding tube body and one pipe member and holds the sliding tube body in the fixed position. It has.

  However, all of them are straightened by moving the sliding tube, but this sliding tube is provided so as to be movable with respect to the column and the beam frame. Even if they are manufactured with a high degree of accuracy, a gap is inevitably formed between them, and there is a problem that rattling occurs and this causes the tent to swing due to wind and rain. In particular, in the case of the support column, this is remarkable because it is the basic part of the tent.

By the way, among the tents, those that can be opened and closed are as follows in order to prevent the tent sheet constituting the roof from being pooled.
(1) The entire roof including the tent sheet is inclined in one direction.
(2) Only the guide rail and the tent sheet constituting the roof are inclined in one direction (Patent Document 3).
(3) The entire roof is leveled and a unilaterally inclined portion is formed on the tent sheet (Patent Document 4).

  However, in the above (1) and (2), a part or all of the roof is inclined in a single direction, so that it is difficult to attach to the vertical (vertical) support column, especially when the inclination angle is changed. This could not be done easily. On the other hand, in the case of (3), since the entire roof is horizontal, it can be easily mounted on a vertical support column, but the tent sheet must be made into a special shape and structure. There was a difficult point.

The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and was devised to solve this problem. The problem is that the support can be folded and the support can be held firmly in a straight state. The purpose of this is to provide a tent that is not affected by wind and rain.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a tent that prevents water from being accumulated in the tent sheet constituting the roof, yet has a simple structure, does not cost much, and can easily change the inclination angle.

  The tent of the present invention is basically a tent composed of a column and a roof, and the column includes an upper column and a lower column that are divided into upper and lower parts, and a hinge that pivotally connects these columns. A sliding tube body that can enclose a hinge and is externally movably fitted to the upper strut and the lower strut and can take a fixed position positioned across the upper strut and an open position located only on the upper strut, A stop provided on the support for stopping the sliding tube at a fixed position, and a fastening means provided on the sliding tube for fixing the upper support and the lower support to the upper support and the lower support when this is in the fixed position; , Has a feature.

When the sliding tube is in the open position, it is fitted on only the upper strut, and the lower strut can be folded at a substantially right angle with respect to the upper strut by the hinge. At this time, if the sliding tube body is fastened and fixed to the upper column by the fastening means, the sliding tube body will not fall inadvertently and will not interfere with the folding work.
When the sliding tube is set at the fixed position, the sliding tube is stopped at the fixed position by the stop body and is fitted over the upper column and the lower column, and the hinge is moved by the sliding tube. Included. Then, the upper column and the lower column are held in a straight state so that they cannot be bent. When the sliding tube is tightened and fixed to the upper column and the lower column by the fastening means, rattling between the upper column and the lower column and the sliding tube is prevented, and the column of the column is prevented. Peristalsis is prevented.

  The hinge is preferably provided with a rotation preventing means for preventing the upper column and the lower column from rotating beyond the straight state. In this way, rotation in one direction is blocked by the rotation blocking means, so that the upper column and the lower column can be kept straight.

  The sliding tube body is provided with a handle for moving the sliding tube body, and this handle preferably includes a locking portion for locking the tent tensioning rope. In this way, the sliding tube can be moved while gripping the handle. Therefore, there are adverse effects when the sliding tube is directly gripped and moved, for example, the hand between the sliding tube and the column. There is no worry of getting injured with your fingers. In addition, if the tent tension rope fastened to the ground is locked to the locking portion, the sliding tube can be prevented from moving upward, and the sliding tube can be securely held in a fixed position. it can. Since the locking of the tent tension line to the locking portion is a part of the tent assembly process, there is no fear of forgetting this, and the safety is further improved. Since the handle provided with the locking portion has both a gripping function and a locking function for the tent tensioning rope, the structure is simplified and the cost can be reduced.

  The tightening means includes a nut attached to the sliding tube, a through-hole continuously drilled in the sliding tube, and is screwed into the nut and inserted into the through-hole so that the tip is higher. It is preferable to provide a butterfly bolt fitted to the support column and the lower support column. In this way, it is possible to reliably perform tightening and fixing with a simple structure.

  The roof moves horizontally to the left and right beam members that connect the upper and lower struts, multiple horizontal guide rails that are installed on both beam members and spaced in the front-rear direction, and each guide rail. A plurality of runners that can be provided, a suspension provided on each runner, and a tent sheet that is suspended by each suspension and can be folded in the left-right direction. It is preferable that either one of the front and rear is made a low single-flow inclined state by changing the height. In this way, since the beam material and the guide rail that constitute the roof are in a horizontal state, the production and assembly are easy, and the tent sheet can be inclined in a single flow only by changing the length of the hanging tool. The inclination angle can be easily changed.

According to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.
(1) The upper strut, the lower strut, the hinge, the sliding tube, the stopping body, and the tightening means constitute a strut, and in particular, it slides with respect to the upper strut and the lower strut when the sliding tube is in a fixed position. Since the tightening means for tightening and fixing the tube body is provided, the column can be folded, and the column can be firmly held in a straight state to prevent peristalsis caused by wind and rain.
(2) Since the roof is composed of beam materials, guide rails, runners, hanging tools, and tent sheets, especially by changing the length of the hanging tools, either the front or back of the tent sheet is made to be in a single flow inclined state. The tent sheet constituting the roof is free from water accumulation, and yet the structure is simple, the cost is not excessive, and the inclination angle of the tent sheet can be easily changed.
